Low Level Laser therapy....

We get asked all the time. "What is Low Level Laser Therapy?"

Low Level Laser Therapy also known as LLLT, Cold Laser Therapy and/or Red Light Therapy. It is low-intensity laser therapy that uses low levels of light to stimulate cells. It is the application of red and near infra-red light. LLLT was first developed in 1967. LLLT combines the ancient art of acupuncture with modern laser science. The laser used is considered a cold laser meaning it does not get hot, cut or burn.

LLLT can be used in many different ways. LLLT is used on injuries to improve wound and soft tissue healing. It reduces inflammation, and gives relief for both acute and chronic pain.

The laser probes can be applied to acupuncture points to triggers the brain to release natural endorphins. The low-level laser beam stimulate points without piercing the skin. This application is used for programs such as smoking cessation, weight loss and pain management.
